Season Round up for 2022

Our season actually finished a few of weeks ago with 2 nice double clears at Swalcliffe so enthusiasm was at low ebb loading the lorry during monsoon conditions to have a final play with the young guns in the training day at Aston. Considering the rain, it was a very good experience for them all. 

We have had a busy and successful season with some good results, leading to much excitement around the ponies & their plans for next year.  This year:

• We have travelled to Ireland twice with top 10 finishes including 3rd in the 4*long at Ballindenisk with Roo
  
• To Blair with Roo and Alice both coming home with Ribbons
  
• Roo had a fantastic run at Bramham finishing just outside the top 10 but posting one of the quicker XC rounds in the 4*short. 
  
• Harper has been very consistent at Novice level (and apart from Swalcliffe where I have no idea what the judge was watching) her dressage, strength and balance has been really improving. 
  
• Pickle had a great season and now has a lovely new home. 
  
• Other horses have also been consistent picking up ribbons both BE, unaffiliated and show jumping. There are a couple of exciting young horses waiting in the wings that we will be looking forward to bringing out next year. 

We are now knuckling down with winter plans and preparations for next year. The horses are having staggered holidays depending on where they are in their career and what the focus is for their winter training, with plenty of dressage and show jumping outings for them all. This is the perfect time to re-visit and solidify the basics while conditioning, strengthening and building up for the 2023 season. 

While the eventers are having down time we have space for schooling liveries and our popular staycation where you can come and train with your horse - do get in touch to find out more about it - and we have now published dates for clinics for this year, as well as finalising clinic and camp dates for next season. 

In November I will be re launching the GET AHEAD programme to mentally prepare you and your horse for planning and achieving those goals in 2023 (however big or small they are). 

Continuing professional development is important for everyboady, no matter what level of the horse world they are competing and working at.  Sarah has been investing some time on on her own CPD in her unending quest to stay current: you never stop learning!


Save the date:
For the first time we will be welcoming you through our doors to have an OPEN DAY to allow old and new clients to look around the yard, meet the horses, understand our ethos and training methods and see what we are about. 
Sunday 27th November
